I continue to spend a lot of time on the phone, talking with people. Put our engineer and contractor together today, finished preliminary grant proposal (generic version) and saw an interpretive center at Cheyenne Canyon in Colorado Springs, a city park. Very nice, just recently placed on historic register because of a small stone bridge.
Cork Peterson is set to have his company give us a design/build estimate on moving the bridge.
Larissa Mottl, Grinnell College Biology Professor and Station Manager for CONARD will serve as an expert for prairie and wetlands and is a welcome addition to our team.
Jonathan Buffalo of Meskwaki Nation will ask around for any stories about our area and suggested talking with SHPO's Cyndi McDonald regarding summer camps for Sac/Fox.
Vern Mesler, delighted that we are moving forward, thinks that talking or going to see Kitty Henderson in Austin and seeing his bridge renovation in San Antonio, also talking with Eric Deloney in Santa Fe would be a good use of my research time away from Iowa.
Mark Latsch, from Michigan to serve as engineer of record on bridge project and has been put in touch with Justin Clausen from PCI.
Steve Ruddock from FileMaker is going to give us Foundation pricing for software.
Anyone want to see the proposal, don't hestitate to call.
